Create Kercil Dragon, an articulated wooden dragon with a long, low profile and a relaxed downward pose designed for resting on rocks, ledges and raised perches.

The finished dragon measures approximately 140 mm wide and 90 mm high, with movable wings and legs that can be positioned to change the character of the pose.

Designed with beginner makers in mind, Kercil uses broad, forgiving curves and straightforward construction, while the body, wings and legs offer plenty of satisfying contouring.

Use the suggested palette or customise Kercil to suit your own fantasy world.

Kercil Dragon also makes a natural companion to the Otha Dragon, Pembe Dragon and Rity Dragon patterns.
